Chapter 235: Who Do You Think You Are?

Eleanora had barely gotten rid of Gaia when suddenly Evangeline burst into her home, her voice bouncing off the walls," Eleanora! Get here, now."

Eleanora who had been slumped on the couch, winced at the loud voice and cautiously spoke," I am already here. Why are you screaming? My house looks like a fish market to you?"

"Ha! It’s worse than a fish market. At least those people are working hard to earn their money! But you! What makes you think that you can appear out of nowhere and try to usurp my right? How are you suitable?"

Eleanora crossed her arms in front of her and raised her chin," How am I not suitable? You’re a bit older than me but otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? You have not even finished your education and have no memory of your own past. But even if you did, you have not been brought up in Estania, so how can you even think of serving its people." Eleanora spoke condescendingly.

"Not being bought up in Estania is not my fault, Evangeline. As for the rest, my education was put on pause due to the accident and everything happened. But it has not incapacitated me! I have already started looking into finishing my education so that I can serve the people here."

"And yet, I am older than you so rightfully the throne is mine! If you really want to serve people, you can do so without needing to rule!"

"Doesn’t the same apply to you as well, Evangeline? You’ve already been serving the people of Estania? Is that all for show, until you get the rule. And you seem to have forgotten one important fact, my father was the older son of the King! He was the one who was supposed to have inherited the crown but instead, he abdicated. Its only natural the throne passes onto me first." Eleanora replied as the two girls continued to argue loudly.

Soon, the two women were arguing loudly, talking over each other as each tried to get the other to back down.

Just as Evangeline raised her hand to slap Eleanora, the maid stepped in between, catching her hand," Princess Evangeline! How can you to hit Princess Eleanora?"

Evangeline looked scathingly at the maid who had dared to stop her and jerked away her hand, pushing the maid onto the ground," How dare you out your hands on me. Who do you think you are trying to interfere between my matters?"

"I dare not interfere, Princess! I was only trying to protect my princess."

Evangeline glared at Eleanora who glared back at Evangeline, neither ready to back down.

Finally, Evangeline nodded and snapped back," Fine. I’d like to see you try and take away what belongs to me rightfully."

With that, Evangeline turned on her heel and stormed out, leaving a tense silence in her wake.

Eleanora, drained from the emotional confrontation, collapsed onto a nearby couch, clutching her head as if trying to ease the throbbing ache building within. Lily approached cautiously; concern etched across her face. " Are you alright, Princess?"

"I’m fine, Lily."

"Is your head aching? Do you need me to get some medicine for you? I thought you said you were not interested in the throne. Did you change your mind?" Standing up, Lily quickly brought a glass of water to Eleanora who took it cautiously as she answered Lily.

"Its not like I only want the throne Lily. But I should get a chance too. Shouldn’t I? So what if I do not have any memory. My bloodline is as noble as hers. Also, I don’t want to marry Prince Augustus so the only way I can for sure get rid of him is to ascend to the throne and get Grandma to surrender her title. That way she cannot force me."

Lily nodded in sympathy as she placed a comforting hand on her shoulder," Its alright, Princess. I will support you all the way. You have every right to become our Queen. In my opinion, you should be the Queen anyway. Princess Evangeline is simply too snotty. Don’t her take what is rightfully yours. You need to show everyone that you’re the better choice. "

Eleanora looked at the glass in her hands and nodded slowly," You are right, Lily. Don’t worry. I will become Queen. Thank you for protecting me and believing in me, Lily."

"It is my honour and duty Princess. Do you need something else?"

Eleanora shook her head and returned the glass to the maid," No. You can also retire for the evening, Lily. I’ll see you in the morning. I’d like to do some thinking."

As Lily walked away, Eleanora raised her head, staring at the girl’s back with a disappointed expression on her face. She had sincerely believed that Lily was a simple-minded girl with her head in the clouds. But some people were really great actors.

By coming between her and Evangeline at the right moment, she’d established herself as her well-wisher with a simple gesture while casting Evangeline in the role of the villain.

If she had been truly a naive and impressionable, then Lily would have used her perfectly.

Leaning back, she closed her eyes and sighed. "It was a good thing that uncle had sent Gaia to warn her and remind her to act. Because Evangeline Sterling was a really good actor as well... She as pretty sure the girl would have really slapped her across the face if Lily had not stepped in.

Sigh. Could her life get any more dramatic? First, she has an accident and loses her memory. Then she gets a sister who is not a green tea bi*ch but an expert at acting like one. Added to that, she then has to pretend to be a bi*ch as well and fight with her for a ’chair’ that she does not even want!

Next thing she knew, she might land in some transmigration book in some other parallel universe...
